Turn off the ICP BIOS, keep the on-board SCSI BIOS on. You might need to manually wire down which SCSI bus and drives are what devices in your kernel config. i.e., what might have been called /dev/da0 could now be /dev/da1. Personally, I'd change /etc/fstab instead of messing with device naming in the kernel.
